Show image for 5 seconds but before another picture that is delayed for 5 seconds

Hi Everyone,

I've managed to learn stuff myself but this has got me stuck, hope you can help.

I have a button that has many actions - mostly unhiding text or buttons, I have also put a timer delay on one of the images (google map marker)

But I also want an animated "searching" gif to come on once the same button is clicked then go away after 5 seconds: so the searching animation comes up then 5 seconds later the marker on google maps shows up (as if it's really searching for a location but it's not, i'm faking it)

You'll see I have set everything to appear on button click after 5 seconds, but I need the "searching image" to start on the button click and then go away at 5 seconds so the rest of the buttons and text show up after the "searching image" goes away.

Any help would be really great, my eyes are now blood shot trying to get the two to work together.
Thanks

Thank you so much for the reply, I'm new to this (as you guessed! )
And I'm trying to learn as much as I can, what I've been doing is finding the code that I want and fitting it in to the google map code, which hasn't worked out as easy as thought, but I'm picking up bits as I'm going.

I'm kinda surprised I've got this far and it works just how I wanted it to. (3 whole days to add the button and text to google maps code).

If you test it you'll see when you press the "last known position" button there is the 5 second delay before the map zooms in and the marker shows up, it's in that 5 seconds the "searching" giff would be perfect.

Once again thank you so much for taking the time.

P.s, I have another website that needs some coding done (paid) can I post on this forum about paid work?
